# CabMaker

CabMaker is a free tool that lets you quickly and easily package up a folder of files into a .cab (Cabinet) file.

It's essentially a GUI for makecab.exe (the command-line utility that ships with Windows).



It's a helpful utility for scenarios like SharePoint and InfoPath development. Both of those rely on .cab files but with different file extensions (.wsp for SharePoint and .xsn for InfoPath).

CabMaker does _not_ support every single option that's built into makecab.exe, nor does it support the entire range of options provided by the [cab file spec](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb417343.aspx). If you need additional options, please edit the source code and add whatever you need to suit your requirements.

This was a tool I built in literally 5 minutes to help with SharePoint development as described [in this blog post](https://yieldreturnpost.wordpress.com/2016/06/22/free-tool-to-create-cab-file-from-folder/), so please keep that in mind when downloading and using the tool.

Enjoy!
